Titanfall on PS4: Major Nelson gives less than a direct answer

Major Nelson on Titanfall for PS4: Depends on Game, “Not Worried About” Timed Exclusivity
The title’s status as a timed exclusive gets more ambiguous.

Every now and again, the same question keeps coming back: Will Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall be a timed exclusive to the Xbox One and Xbox 360? Considering the growing demand for PS4 consoles and Respawn’s own replies to the same, it certainly seems possible. If not next year when the game releases, then why not the year after? Never say never, and all that jazz.
One individual who put his two cents in regarding Titanfall’s exclusivity is Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb, the Director of Programming for Xbox Live. When asked on Reddit about the exclusivity status of Titanfall, and whether it would be a timed exclusive, heading to PS4 at a later time, or a lifetime exclusive, remaining solely on Xbox platforms, Nelson replied, “As far as being an exclusive that’s really a question for Titanfall – I’m not worried about it though.”
As of now, it’s never been obvious that Microsoft is putting pressure on Respawn or even paying them major bucks to keep the game on Xbox consoles. Perhaps Respawn saw the success of first person shooters on the Xbox 360 as compared to PS3 and thought that this would help give Titanfall a major bump up when it releases on Xbox One? No one can really say for sure, but if Nelson’s lack of worry says anything, it’s that the game might just stay exclusive after all.
Titanfall releases on the Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC in 2014.

The author speculates at the end of the article that this is a sign that it will stay exclusive, but if MS bought exclusivity for this game out flat, why wouldn't a PR person just out and say it? Interesting stuff.

its overrated and MS/EA are desperately trying to make it the next big thing.

if anyone asks me, "have you seen titanfall?", i'll reply by saying, "nope, but i do need to take a Titan Dump"

AAAAAAND conversely, no need to $#@! on the game either. Don't like it? State whether or not you do, and why. Or don't - but no need for unwarranted negativity either.

This kinda stuff is what kicks off silly people into silly turf wars (which I'll not have) and I'll strongly hope and suggest that we don't see any more posts like this (and the dismissive post above in your quote).

I think it's overrated as well. Yes it's a good game and will be fun, but IMO
You throw wall riding, double jumping, and jetpacks into ANY FPS game and it will be an awesome game.
IMO that kind of mobility is what been missing in FPS.
Just give CoD a jetpack patch and there you go. Titanfall without mechs.

Yeah, it makes me wonder if the game got delayed, whether it would all come out in the wash. Cheers! Nice forum you guys have here

Welcome to the forums. Chuck me a PM any time if you have any questions.

This is coming to PS4 most likely. As I've said before, 3rd party exclusives (real) are all but dead. The radio silence on this matter is similar to that of the Skyrim DLC. PS3 wasn't mentioned, the PS logo was omitted from the DLC sections of the forums, yet eventually it came. Respawn never flatout deny the question, it's always "right now we are focussed on making Titanfall awesome on Xbox and PC."

I'm kind of indifferent about it. It's a cool looking game but I have my FPS fix.

I don't care much for mechs or games that utilize mechs. It's just something that doesn't interest me one bit. As for Titanfall, I really don't care for it from what I've seen. I love online games but I'm just not a Mech type of person.
